      genius love

      A chance encounter. Although there are many concepts beyond the general boundaries, if you understand crazy love, you can understand the character's bitter love. The beginning of love is relatively fresh but no different, and then after breaking through half of the boundaries, when you find that the other party is also excited about his disgusting perverted preferences, love becomes genius love, burning and exploding, and then, career and life are unsatisfactory. Coming in, not being the only...

      The love in the dream, why is it not true, how many people in the world are there in the dream?

      I was too young to be full of lust and lost my body in the explosion of lust, and I was too old to be full of memories and forget everything under the weight of memory. - Zhou Guoping

      Recently, I just happened to be reading some shallow philosophies related to the meaning of life and ultimate value. I also thought of some questions while watching this movie. I wrote it here to discuss with you. The title comes from Tang Xianzu's language, because the...

      Blood Romanticism - Blood Romance

      French poet Baudelaire's "Flower of Evil": "Tonight, the moon dreams of more laziness, like a beautiful woman lying on many cushions, one hand caressing the outline of her breast carelessly and softly, Before falling asleep, sometimes, when she was idle and powerless, she would go to the earth, and let a stream of tears flow quietly, a pious poet, the enemy of sleep, held the pale tears in the palm of her hand, like a rainbow of fragments of opalescent stones. Shiny, put into his sun-invisible...

      "No Freedom, No Love"

      "Love should end at its peak, not waiting for that inevitable disappearance to come."

      I don't know why, I always feel that "If life is just like the first time" can highly summarize all the feelings of love at first sight, vigorous and sudden death. Hearing the familiar English sound made me want to cry, Uncle Hugh was still a piece of fresh meat at that time. The time applicability of literary films is very wide, and the films of 1992 are still not out of date.

      A film that chills women's bones

      The heroine is beautiful, sexy, innocent, single-minded, she has all the beauty of a woman. In the face of the pursuit of the wretched old man, she surrendered without any defense. That man loves her so much and is so fascinated by her! She thought that this must be the most beautiful love, she thought that this beauty must exist forever.

      But she overestimated herself. Like an ordinary woman, she became an outcast without exception, a yellow-faced woman who was disliked by men like a...

      "We may give our human loves the unconditional allegiance which we owe only to God. Then they become gods: then they become demons. Then they will destroy us, and also destroy themselves. For natural loves that are allowed to become gods do not remain loves. They are still called so, but can become in fact complicated forms of hatred." - CS...

      If you don't love each other anymore, it's good to leave you a bitter moon. Two-line narrative and twists and turns can blow up ordinary drama films, and all kinds of sadomasochism and revenge are just a few streets away from ordinary erotic films. Erotic, just serve Polanski. _(:з"∠)_Restore the blood tank ing...PS: The male protagonist's smoking and drinking are really breaking my...

    • Oscar: What happened to your dance classes?

      Mimi: Dancing has to come from the heart.

      Oscar: So?

      Mimi: My heart is broken.

    • Oscar: Nothing ever surpass the rapture of that first awakening. I might have been Adam with the taste of apple fresh in my mouth. I was looking at all the beauty in the world embodied in a single female form and I knew, with sudden blinding certainty, this was IT!

    • Oscar: It's no fun hurting someone who means nothing to you.
